Prayer intentions in your spiritual warfare	Lisara	Thursday, September 2, 2010
Question: Hello, Brother Ignatius, I hope you are well! I had to write you this even though I am not sure if you will post this, but I hope you will since there is no other way to have a reply from you. I know you don't answer private e-mails, but I will understand if you can't get to reply. I will just continue praying my thanks to God for all your help. I am so grateful to you for turning your "lemons into lemonade", as you so aptly put it in a post I read that you wrote. I read your detractor/malefactor chronicles. I had a small intuition that you had some hate mail---well it doesn't take a genius to figure that out. I knew it would come with the territory of spiritual warfare. I also know of your troubles and am so encouraged by your overcoming some of your past trials. I know the story, and I want to say the best of us have overcome our sins...but I am still working on me, so I don't include myself in that bunch of people. If you have looked over my past posts, I have been pretty confused at times, and even questioned my own belief in God and have even taken some farout spiritual routes, as in temptations to the occult. I am ashamed of that. I even desired to be a witch at one point. Anything to take me away from what made me feel insecure about my self-worth. And I thought that God was always pointing a Finger at me, waiting for me to trip, and I just wanted to belong to something that didn't make me feel so inept.... All that glitter isn't gold is such a trite over-used saying, but SO very applicable to my spiritual journey. I owe you lots of gratitude. I could have been one of those hateful people who sent those Q and A posts, but I am not today because I reached out to you instead of attacking. There was so much despair in what I read of some of those posts....a despair that I sadly can identify with. I have come pretty close to feeling that way at one time. Despair mixed with anger that turns into hate. I have seen the dark, and now I have seen the Light. The evil one lies and says there is no use in turning to God and that all help is lost, but that isn't true. Again I thank you for giving your life to God and turning yourself around. I also want to say that I am NOT a "groupie", but a friend in Christ throught the Blessed Mother. I will keep you in my rosary intentions. Lisa
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Lisa: I thank you for your testimony and for your kind words. Frankly, I needed such words. Things have been very stressful here the past month and a half. I had three "mini" strokes about a month ago (no permanent damage), largely brought on by stress I imagine and other health matters. It is good and comforting to know that this apostolate has actually helped someone. God Bless, Bro. Ignatius Mary For information on how to receive help see our Help page.

Also our Spiritual Warfare Prayer Catalog contains many prayers that may be helpful. If needed you can ask for a Personal Consultation.
